Here is a gorgeous specimen of Barite  from Mexico. It measures 5 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ x  1 1/8″ and is loaded with Barite crystals protruding in all directions. The crystals have great clarity and some neat “rainbow” reflections. The pictures don’t do this awesome specimen justice!

Description

Barite or Baryte is a mineral consisting of Barium sulfate and is generally white or colorless. The baryte group consists of baryte, celestine, anglesite and anhydrite. Baryte commonly occurs in lead-zinc veins in limestones, in hot spring deposits, and with hematite ore. It is used in the manufacture of paints and paper. Although Barite contains a ‘heavy’ metal, Barium, it is not considered to be a toxic chemical because of its extreme insolubility.
